Bio
Julie Zadow
A multi-channel B2B marketing campaign is like a machine, and I've met many marketers who can operate that machine, but few who can actually build it. Lisa is one of those marketers who can build a marketing machine and make it run so smoothly, with such detail yet with such clarity, that it almost runs itself. That's what Lisa did for Aberdeen's event marketing department and the machine she built for us will live on long after she has left. Thank you, Lisa!
Patty Caron
Lisa is one of the most dedicated event marketing professionals I know. She works tirelessly to find new and innovative ways to attract attendees to events. Lisa is a great team player and I had the pleasure of working with her for event programs at IDC. If you're looking for a strategic and flexible marketing professional, Lisa is one of the best!
